likely to lose the prize in thinking over the matter the idea occurred to her to write to gen grant to help her out the trenton gazette says that she did so and to her great joy the president answered the letter aud inclosed the sum of 5 and gave her besides some excellent advice the child was as much pleased in receiv ing a letter from gen grant as she was to get the 5 the letter became the object of great curiosity every body wanted to see it one gentle man gave 5 for it and then charged a quarter of a dollar to see it in this way some fifteen or twenty dollars were realized all of which was

! c the washington correspondent of the philadelphia times te'egraphs that a resolution ha3 beeu prepared by a promi nent southern congressman a gentleman who was an officer in tho confederate army

that no claim for slaves freed during and by tbe war shall ever be es teemed lawful and tbat the national credit mils ever be kept unimpeached this will be submitted to the house at an early day aud the utmost confidence is ex presseo that it will be adopted wilh but feeble dissent — exchange we are not in favor of repudiating the national debt or iu any manner interfere ring with the arrangement to pay it but we are unalterably opposed to any south ern man or set of men who would offer in the uuited states congress or favor mich a resolution as above indicated the payment of the confederate war debt for emancipated slaves may never be de manded by the south but we are oppos ed to licking the dust aud going forward voluntarily aud surrendeiing claim for property wliich was abolished or confiscated by military power without constitutional authoity no sensible southern man would have slavery re-es tablished if it were possible to do so but every sensible man in the land north and south knows that at the time tbe federal troops took the negroes from un der the control of their owners there was nothing in the constitution endorsed or adopted by the requisite number of states jusliteing such conduct therefore we hope no real southern member of con gresss will attempt to appease radical hatred by voluntarily surrendering the rights of bis constituents — charlotte democrat
